Top Summer Fashion Trends

June 1, 2015

Summer is the perfect occasion (or the perfect excuse) for a wardrobe update. What are some up-and-coming trends? Of course, certain style staples (think crop tops, mini skirts, and maxis) always make an appearance when the sun comes out of hiding. This season however, I’m focused on the details. I’m talking about feminine fabrics, playful prints, and other gorgeous design delights.

Here are just a few of my favorite summer fashion trends:

Trend: Unique Embellishments

I appreciate a good statement piece. For an effortless way to instantly dress up an otherwise plain ensemble, flaunt a fashion item with unique embellishments. Embellishments like embroidered designs, feminine frills, and bejeweled details catch the eye, add texture, and make for a more interesting look. One of my favorite picks? This structured top, which features a summery pattern and stylish side zippers. It’s the epitome of casual-chic.

Trend: Great Lace

I adore lace. Is there really a lovelier fabric? Case in point: this beautiful blouse with elegant embroidery. From darling dresses to delicate tops, I plan on embracing the lace trend to the fullest this summer. For a look that’s romantic, feminine, and still relaxed, incorporate a style staple with lace details into your warm-weather wardrobe.

Trend: Bold Prints

Summer is the best time to inject a bit of bold color into your look. Enter: bright graphic prints. They’re pretty, playful, and stylishly capture the spirit of the season. For a truly striking way to wear the trend from head to toe, try on a breezy maxi dress in a vivid pattern (like this long, flowing number complete with a chic scarf tie).

That first top is basically perfection, and you look super cute in all three outfits. I love a summer refresh. Right now I’m doing the 30×30 Capsule Wardrobe Challenge (I posted about it on my blog if you want to know more).

[…] Because they’re bold, ombré print dresses are totally appropriate for a fancy occasion. In this case, minimal accessories are required. But if paired with more casual items, the trend also makes for a sweet daytime look. This delicate green maxi dress has been a staple in my closet this season because it’s light, comfortable, and versatile. Here, I’ve paired my ombré dress with a classic denim jacket for a relaxed summertime look. […]
